first scot to fight in ufc???

Was wondering and the weekend results with turner mcveigh and hope all winning and stevie ray putting up a more than decent performance in bamma who ppl think will be first scot to appear in the ufc. Surely cant be far away with guys like mcveigh turner ray doolan whiteford all making waves at british and european level. I would include joanne in this post too but no really sure if her invicta contract maybe prevents this?????

This was supposed to be happening in Sep/Oct time but not sure if they have shelved plans due to venues? Hydro is here (not open yet) but not sure if that sort of style of venue would be suitable for UFC viewing as it's not a traditional arena style more of a "theatre" style layout.

I would say the most likely would be Jo Calderwood (in a few fights time) guys like Steven Ray and Robert Whiteford possibly later down the line. Steven would need another couple of wins and I think if Whiteford was to get another big Euro scalp then he would be well placed. James Doolan is technically good enough for the UFC but results haven't always gone his way and needs to go on a run much the same as McVeigh. The sooner as he can get to Fly and start wrecking folk he will be near the top of the Euro Fly rankings and would be well placed.

So, all in all probably no-one ready at the moment.

It is a great opportunity especially as the UFC will be doing the 5 shows a year in the UK

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!

Whiteford and turner deffo look like they will be fighting in ufc at some stage. I would say out the two turner is more ready with nearly 30 fights under his belt. Would think doolan and mcveigh could fight in ufc now and give anyone a good competitive fight. Joanne looks likely to fight in ufc but would have to add weight as she currently fights at 115 and ufc womans division looks to be 135. Scottish mma looks very strong right now and think well get further proof of this at cage warriors 53 in glasgow.
